Except that the original request was to *hide* the top number and just show the
denominator...

You could also try something like this:

\version "2.15.37"

            

#(define time-signature-hide-numerator

  (lambda (grob)

    (let ((denom (number->string (cdr (ly:grob-property grob 'fraction)))))

      (grob-interpret-markup grob

        (make-override-markup '(baseline-skip . 0)

            (make-center-column-markup

              (list

                (make-strut-markup)

                (make-number-markup denom))))))))

              

\relative c'' {

  \time 3/4

  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #time-signature-hide-numerator

  c d e

}

Hope this helps!
